We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

In July 2023 began to have pain went back cortisone shot he suggested ankle infusion. A friend recommended Feet For Life. So happy I went.

Saw Dr. Horwitz result: a foot casting mold for a brace to help with ankle pain, protection on the ranch, x-rays and MRI. Return visit he recommended a Arthroscopy Ankle Surgical Debridement. He was to do it then referred Dr. Nirali Shah. She agreed a good candidate for procedure with full explanation of procedure why from x-rays and MRI. Surgery on 2-7-2025 at BJWest County.

After having 7 Cryosurgeries for neuromas in NYC, I was shocked to find a doctor in St Louis that also did it. [NYC is one of the only places that do this newer procedure.] Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable with neuromas. She was attentive to my unique drug allergies, studied up on them personally to confirm she was educated on any issues that may arise, and did the Cryosurgery along with an additional recommendation so that I didn't need to have this surgery again and again every 3 years. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shah for her knowledge, experience, kindness, and care. Completely satisfied with my care and surgery. The entire staff at Feet for Life on Delmar & in Chesterfield are also kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Money grab
They seemed very interested in selling me their products and insisting I get an x ray. X ray for a toenail fungus completely unnecessary.Prescribed medication but insisted on buying their house brand products in addition to insurance covered medication.Getting money from patients anyway they can.
